Lesson Objectives - Students will finish answering the Close Reader questions for "Frankenstein."  They will then use their Collections textbook to examine the essay "What is the Horror Genre?"  Students will apply these ideas to the short story "Golden Glass" as they use foreshadowing, suspense, sensory details, and mood to turn it into an example of the horror genre.  Groups will present these to the class tomorrow.
Homework - Quiz corrections for "The Tell-Tale Heart" are due by Monday.
